Fate favors the prince Issa’s family: at last, the long-awaited heir, Gor, is born. Like other descendants of the Envoy-Bearers, the little boy has a rare gift of psychokinesis. He must become the emperor’s “living weapon” and a pawn in his father’s future intrigues—but what will Gor choose himself? And what role is assigned to his teacher and the attendant who plays at the beive (performing a horn/pipe)? A new Asian adult-fantasy release in the best traditions of R. Kuang’s “Opium Wars” series and Rachel Kondo’s “Shōgun.” A story about a boy with a dark magical gift who tries hard not to become a monster.
